So how much time does merely drafting Fields does this buy for Pace/Nagy? After all, it is possibly he will sit all season to learn as Dalton leads the offense. So, if the Bears go 7-10 this season they get another year, right? And if he comes in next year and the Bears go min-range again - you keep them on for their QB to take the next step right?
I am glad my fellow BEARS fans are excited but I am not in the slightest. I see little to no chance that Fields develops into a franchise QB and see this becoming just ANOTHER stumbling block that ensures the Bears cannot become perennial contenders for the next 6+ years. I am not to make trouble or quash excitement, I am honestly just looking for a reason to be optimistic. I am an Ohio guy, live in Ohio, watched Fields, and saw everything in him that would make him a great OH-IO qb but nothing that would translate into NFL success. I am so down right now. When I saw the Bears trade up my thought was "OH NO! Their going to pick Fields and then Belichick is going to have his QB fall into his lap".. And, UGH, exactly.
It is just my preference I suppose. I prefer a QB who can read a defense, drop back in the pocket, quickly process the action, and make the throw. I want him to have some mobility, but I want that mobility to be secondary to his primary action - read a defense, drop back in the pocket, quickly process the action, and make the throw. Again, please no hate. I am a Bears fan and hope Fields stays on the Bears and is not just the franchise guy but the GOAT. It just seems like most Bears fans are thinking "FINALLY! YES!" and I am thinking "AGAIN? NO!".
